Brief update

Feature Discussion: https://forum.openlmis.org/t/potential-post-v3-6-features/5028

Action Items:

• Wesley Brown To create discourse post for features
• Simon Dean (Unlicensed) To assist Wes in the creation of a simple format
• Wesley Brown prepare a list of potential post-3.6 features to discuss on the next Product Committee

Potential Post V3.6 (post Gap Project) Features.  (reviewed potential ideas as a group)

• DHIS2 transportation piece (part done through gap project)

• Several areas around stock management (offline functionality, cost summary on orders etc)

• Reporting functionality to select certain products as tracers

• Angola specific tickets (AO in the list) including system alert when a product is about to expire (quick win!); commodities cost feature; aggregated requisitions; third party supplier management

• Configuration assistant page and other features on improving OpenLMIS implementation

• Additional filters on approve R&R screen

• Bar code support

Thoughts? 

• Ashraf - based on recent RFPs, a lot around stock management and robust offline capabilities.  Vote to have these in future version of OpenLMIS.
• Rebecca - we do keep a record of old RFPs in trello board so we can see opportunities - 

• Sam -  Ability to export reference data - do we want to prioritize this higher?  OLMIS-5440 - Getting issue details... STATUS
• Josh - Are there needs for deployment support (i.e. monitoring tools for their instance; multi server etc)?
• New instances of reporting stack?
• Craig - Feature around asynchronous uploading. Future state where power may be limited and there will be a need to fire off a request for a report, run it into a queue and when this is processed, having report available and archived for users.  Josh - this has come up before. 
• Gaurav - How does this list overlap with the Living Product Roadmap?  Agrees with Ashraf to look at country requirements and have a broad list of where we want product to go.  IE  one RFP requested some functionality at warehouse level/interoperability with ERPs.
• Ashraf - good idea to understand needs for inventory mgt, warehouse mgt etc.  
• Gaurav - explore mobile application part of OpenLMIS/connect with other open source apps  Josh - recently published mobile strategy publication.  See here - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aaZ3TkX3QPiLYCbhiuWDFgZ_lMmr_Cj-ZiqDFXmIlCI/edit?usp=sharing  Gaurav - would like to have a broader discussion on this to evolve the mobile strategy

Craig - potential pivot following Resonance work.  Need to be sure to align with product roadmap.

• Wesley Brown will take this feedback and ad it to the discussion post on Discourse to engage the broader community and others who were not able to join today's call.

Feedback Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KPVKM5Q  (only takes about 15 minutes - really want feedback including from trusted partners)

• Wesley Brown to create a survey and send out (for reals this time)
